I was back at my Air bnb that i had booked yesterday after my appointment. I was getting dressed because Mykel was taking me to this breakfast restaurant here in L.A and he was waiting downstairs.
"Okay i'm ready." I said and he looked up from his phone before he stood up and opened the door for me to go outside.
"Thanks." I said.
When we got inside his car i was just quiet, like i been quiet all morning which isn't normal cause usually i dont shut up.
"Why you quiet?" He asked as he readjusted in his seat with one hand on the steering wheel. I just shrugged.
"Use yo' words Aubrie." He mumbled.
"I don't know, it's just a lot on my mind right now, I thought....." I took a pause. "Nevermind." I said.
"Why you was scared to tell me?" He asked.
"Because with what you said I felt bad and i didn't know how it would be if i saw you again." I said.
"It wasn't meant to make you feel bad." He said. "Even though it wasn't your intentions, i did feel like you took me for granted, and that's the only reason why i don't feel a negative way about it cause I know you ain't mean for it to come off as that." He explained.
"I just think that you easily give in to a nigga cause they do nice gestures when in reality that's the bare minimum yet you settle for it and you shouldn't have to do that. If you took the time you said you was gone take to focus on you and learn what you want you would realize that. It's more to a connection than just that." He said and I continued looking out the window.
"I hope you actually taking in what i'm sayin to you." He looked over at me before looking back at the road.
"I am, Im listening to you." I said dryly.
"Im the wrong person to catch a attitude wit, don't do that Aubrie." He said calmly.
"I'm not-It's just a lot going through my head right now i ain't mean for my response to sound so dry like that." I said.
"I understand that but Don't project that energy towards me though." He said still talking in a calm yet dominant tone. I couldn't even say a comeback because he was actually talking to me, not raising his voice, yelling, being dramatic. I couldn't do nothing but respect that.
"I-okay." I cut myself off.
"How long you gone be in L.A?" He asked me.
"Few days." I said.
"How long is a few days?" He asked.
"Three." I answered.
"So after we get done eating we gone go back and get yo' stuff to take it back to my house." He said.
"What? No- Yes." He cut me off.
"No." I said.
"That's crazy you think i asked a question." He mumbled.
